Bonita Springs / Ft. Myers / Naples/ Port Charlotte Roof Crush Lawyers
When a vehicle has been flipped due to a rollover, there is a massive amount of weight being put on the frame. Simply put, a car is meant to be on its wheels, not its roof. However, it is up to car manufacturers to give their vehicles the structural integrity to handle more common accidents such as rollovers.
There are far too many injuries that come from rollovers that could have been avoided if vehicle manufacturers had simply learned their lessons from the infamous Ford-Firestone cases our firm spearheaded in 2000. 70% of some vehicles roof crush protection is held in the windows of the vehicle, which are usually the first things to break during a rollover. You can't trust two centimeters of glass to protect you from the tons of weight that bears down on you, and in some cases the frame that protects you is weaker than the glass.
If you or someone you know has been involved in a rollover that has lead to a roof crush incident, please call a dedicated Ft. Myers car accident lawyer at Viles and Beckman, LLC, and let us help you decide the best course of action for your claim. By taking action, you can help let vehicle manufacturers know that it is in their best interest to make vehicles that save lives instead of destroy them.
